Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Day 3 (+VIDEO!)

3 Sep

Good morning!  Today we’re shifting gears with a sparkly Halloween card using products from the STAMPtember release!

Happy Halloween by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

You can watch the video below or at my Youtube channel here!

To start I blend dusty concord, seedless preserves, worn lipstick, and black soot distress ink onto a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock.  I spritz it with water several times and blot off the excess for a foggy and misty look!

Next I stamp the haunted house and bats from Bwahaha with versamark on black cardstock and heat-emboss them with black sparkle embossing powder.  I added yellow colored pencil shading to the windows off the house and then die-cut it with the coordinating dies.

Next I stamp the moon on yellow cardstock and heat-emboss it with glow in the dark embossing powder before die-cutting with the coordinating die.  Then I rip a piece of black cardstock to create my ground and place it in the MISTI.  I stamp the sentiment from Bwahaha once with versamark and heat-emboss it with white embossing powder.  Then I place it back in my MISTI and stamp the sentiment again with versamark before heat-embossing it with glow in the dark embossing powder.  To assemble the card I adhere the moon and ground with regular ATG adhesive and then add the house and bats with foam mounting tape.  Finally I add a layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle to the windows of the house!  I think the sparkle does a good job of making the card not as spooky, right? 😉

Thanks so much for visiting and have a fantastic holiday!

🎉🎉🎉 Well sometimes life with a senior pup gets in the way of the best laid plans 😂 but I did want to share a little something I’ve been working on behind the scenes. 😉 It’s not quite ready for a Small Business Saturday launch as I had hoped but it’s getting there! I’ve been working on my first collection of alcohol ink art and resin pieces (small art pieces, coasters, magnets, pendants, and more) and hope to make them available for purchase very soon! I’ll also have a limited number of custom commissions available at launch! ❤️ Thanks to all my crafty friends for their encouragement to put myself out there and I can’t wait to share more with you VERY soon! 😉 For more info on my launch and some sneak peeks head over and follow my new account @artbyjfb! ❤️❤️❤️ ••• #alcoholink #alcoholinkart #alcoholinkartist #resinart #resinartist #fluidart #abstractartdaily #allthesparklejfb #smallbusinesssaturday #geodecoasters

I am affiliated with Simon Says Stamp, Hero Arts Rubber Stamps, Concord & 9th, WPlus9, Papertrey Ink, Altenew, and OrganizeMore which means I receive a small commission (at no additional cost to you!!) when you click on my links and make a purchase through any store.

Any commission I receive is put towards the running of my blog so I greatly appreciate your support!
